I cant seem to find the Right-to-Left tab in my options
menu. I know its supposed to be there because its there
on my other system. I have complex scripts installed for
Windows XP and I have the languge bar that lets me switch
from arabic to english.
How do i get this bar back? I need it so that I can use
Hindi numbers because right now it uses english numbers.
I also cannot change the font size of arabic text and i
think that this Right-To-Left tab that is missing may be
the reason why.
thanks alot!

Which version of Office are you using? In Word XP,
a 'Complex Scripts' tab appears in options if Arabic is
enabled in Microsoft Office XP Language Settings (under
Microsoft Office Tools) in All Programs on the Start menu.

if you right click on the toolbars area in word youll see
the option to 'customize,' then
choose 'commands' 'format' then scroll down the list to
the right till you see the right-to-left button, drag it
up to the formatting toolbar area & there you have it.
thats strange, i cant change the font size of arabic
persian or hebrew text either, anyone know whats up?
